Open 209: The Invasion of Liten (Game Over)

[Nikanor]

@Sniper: A vig is a vigilante. A vigilante is a town-aligned player who kills all the Vanilla Townies (Not really, but that's how it seems sometimes. ).
A vig is really just a town killing role.

Now, I have a question for you. Are you an alt? Did you sign up for this game to play seriously, or are you just going to waddle around doing nothing?

@SFG, something I forgot to ask in my last post: I'd like for you to give me the names of your two top town reads and your two top scum reads. Thanks.

[Nikanor]

Speaking of vigs, WHY CAN I NOT BE A DAYVIG?! GIMME THAT GUN, GUARD!

--------------------

Nik Anor takes a gun from the nearest guard's hands.

"Hey, what are you doing with that?" Asks the guard.

"KILLIN' SOME SCUM!!!!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Replies Nik Anor.

"I see. Be careful," says the guard.

Nik then shoots Nicodemus in the face. HEADSHOT! The bullet passes through Nico's skull and homes in on every other scum, killing them instantly!

Town wins!

--------------------

Yes, I'm that good.

I'm also that bored.

(This is a joke post, btw.
^Translation: Plz don't modkill me plz!)

Don't worry, no rule infraction was involved, so you're in the clear. Also, I lol'd.

[Pulindar]

I seriously don't get your read on Haylen, though. Is there any actual reason for why you think Haylen is town, or is it all just gut? Sorry if you've already explained this somewhere.

Just gut. The more I think about it, I realize that her posts always make me smile a bit, and it makes it difficult for me to think she's anything but town.

Are you able to say who that person is?

SFG. I was trying to see if she would actually get off if a wagon was formed on San. Unfortunately San came in and SFG got off that way. I didn't find anything, but I don't feel that it was a useless vote.

Reminds me

Vote Sniper

a vig is someone who is aligned with town but who has kill abilities. Usually I think they are night kill, sometimes day kills, and sometimes only one shot kill.

Back to Nika:
^5 back and yes I do love Newbie games. I just replaced someone into a game that incognito is running.

You don't think Nico and SPS could be on opposite scumteams?

Definitely a possibility.

[Sniper]

Thank you!

I signed up to play!

I'm a townie so let's lynch 'em!

[Nikanor]

With whom do you suggest we start these lynching crusades?
Also, have you read the entire thread? What do you think of Pulindar's vote on you?

[crypto]

Unvote. Vote: Sniper.

2:30 AM. Will address whateverz tomorrow.

[crypto]

Actually,

unvote

. We've all seen this before from townies. Sniper, out of curiosity, what forum did you play Mafia on before you came here?

[Sniper]

I have not been able to read the whole thread (I don't think I did, skimmed)...some of you sure know how to post though.

I say we just lynch 'em all.

All of the Mafia gang members anyway.

And since I'm not Mafia...no need to do it to me.

But this dude above me wanted to vote for me so I say we lynch 'em first!

Unvote! Vote: crypto!

[crypto]

See above post please before you leave.

[Sniper]

Past relationships don't really matter in here. So I say we lynch crypto for attacking me.

[crypto]

Sniper, I'm not attacking you. I think you're town. I thought that much was obvious by what I just said. But you'll have a lot firmer ground to stand on if you out your background info.

[Sniper]

I know...it's all good. You are my friend too...but I still have to lynch you becasue you will hurt my little town buddies.

[Sniper]

I am not a vig! I'm a town guy and the town is in my greatest interest.

Now I must change my vote.

Unvote!

This dude Pulindar is way more of a threat than crypto! We can get crypto next!

Vote: Pulindar!

[crypto]

Withholding your meta is one of the scummiest and most anti-town moves you could possibly pull, and there's nothing in it for you.

Ahem.



Your problem is that you aren't the first case of the inter-forum sneaks I've had to deal with. I've gotten the job done twice. If you're scum, I will confidently put my money on me finding you, catching the difference between your play styles here and on your previous roflcoptering grounds, and getting you lynched.

Good luck...

[Pulindar]

First you OMGUS Crypto, then you do this.

I am not a vig! I'm a town guy and the town is in my greatest interest.

Now I must change my vote.

Unvote!

This dude Pulindar is way more of a threat than crypto! We can get crypto next!

Vote: Pulindar!

which is an OMGUS on me.

Besides which, VIG IS TOWN. Both Nika and I said that Vig was town aligned.

I'm happy leaving my vote on you.

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

I definitely see no reason to lynch SFG and I have no absolutely no read on crypto.

That's because you want to leave the door open for OMGUS if possible. It's also because I'm Batman.

Yeah, because I'll magically get a good read on you when it's useful for me to after not being able to read you at all previously. That won't be suspicious.

In fact, I'm quite prepared to state that I do not expect to get a good gut read on you anytime soon. Also, you are not Batman.

Nico's scumminess is the only noteworthy event that has transpired as far as I'm concerned.

My frown muscles are flexing so hard in disagreement that my veins are popping and fountaining blood all over my keyboard.

Feel free to point out specific events that you would count as noteworthy.

Very opportunistic on the Nic wagon, now trying to defend what is a

pretty lost case

. Suffering from tunnel vision so early by saying that Nic is the only scummy person so far. This makes me feel like you're just trying to focus on one person, which is

what scum does when they want to push mislynches

. Possibly scum.

Doesn't the italicised portion contradict the bolded part? Nicodemus is not a viable lynch candidate at this time, so pushing his lynch would hardly constitute a productive use of my time if I didn't care about catching scum.

Pulindar, OMGUS is pretty common among newbies. I'm not seeing anything suspicious in Sniper's posts so far.

[SaintKerrigan]

Haylen put her pocket-PC in her pocket. "Well, we could take people down to the lab and physically examine them. We've still got the old-fashioned tools--"

A large

boom!

cut off the rest of her sentence. "What was that?" asked Al Duskkel nervously.

"It sounded like an explosion!" exclaimed SFG.

The Oooh! What Happened? Vote Count

[Max]

I'm glad you find my reads interesting. Why do you think crypto is scum?

ISO me and I refer to 2 posts, go to them and read them. You will find scum.

[quote"Aldusk"]Reasons...? [/quote]

Glad to see you're reading too.

ISO me and... Just look above it's there

[quote"Slax"]without ever going out on a limb as to why.[/quote]

Incorrect... I can't be bothered repeating myself

If this is the question you are so fond of yelling at people for not answering, may I suggest that the reason you aren't getting answers is because people are still sorting out their scum lists?

People still have preferences. If they are limited to 4 players they will probably have a preference who to lynch first.

What do you find interesting about Nika's response?

The "oh-I've-changed-my-mind-but-I-never-posted-either-the-original-or-new-opinion-nor-is-their-any-evident-change-in-my-posts-of-opinion" hypocrisy of his view. Of course that is if you ignore the votes against crypto when they evidently had no info from one perfectly acceptable question + not-scummie post.

[Nikanor]

@Max: In my iso 3, I say exactly what post of crypto's was scummy. In my iso 6, I apologize and say that I was wrong about crypto. How is that not making a change of mind evident?
And this playstyle of yours sucks, btw. Very arrogant.

ISO me and I refer to 2 posts, go to them and read them. You will find scum.

Just tell me. I can't see where you reference any of crypto's posts.

@Pulindar: Your 191 makes me argh. Sniper isn't actually throwing out any scumtells. He's not going to be lynched today. Please change your vote to someone who will be lynched.
Also, my town read on you just went down to neutral. ):

[Haylen]

Uh...you guys realise we don't actually have a Vig in the setup right? And that Vig is a town role (NOT A THIRD PARTY ROLE like I used to think).

Also, don't fuck with me right now. I'm in the middle of two PBPA's, you don't fuck with me when I'm doing PBPA's. Ever.

[Haylen]

Argh! Screw it! DAMN IT ALL! DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!

As you can see Haylen, We've been saying Vig was town. And yes I know that there is not a vig in the setup. I don't know why Sniper asked.

Pulindar, OMGUS is pretty common among newbies. I'm not seeing anything suspicious in Sniper's posts so far.

Is it a good route to take among experienced players?
Can you deny that it is OMGUS in any way shape or form?
I personally feel that the answer to both these questions is no. Especially since sniper voted for both of the people who voted him, and unvoted crypto when crypto unvoted him.

@Pulindar: Your 191 makes me argh. Sniper isn't actually throwing out any scumtells. He's not going to be lynched today. Please change your vote to someone who will be lynched.

I'm sorry to have gone down on your read of me, but I need to pursue this for a bit. I'm not pushing for anyone else to join me yet, nor am I pushing for a lynch, yet, but I do need to leave my vote on sniper and see how it plays out for a bit. I hope you don't mine too much that I'm not explaining it now, it'd hurt the reason. Just like if I had explained my reason for voting San it would have hurt the evidence.

I see what you're saying Max, but I disagree. I found his short explanations good enough. He quoted a post said that that's why he thought Crypto was scum. Much the same way you pointed out that Crypto was scum, and then he said that he felt he was mistaken based on further posts.

[Pulindar]

Aw Man Haylen. That pic is so bit it means I need to scroll to the side to read the messages on this page now.

Fortunately this page won't last much longer, but still.

Oh well, whatever.

So do you no longer have that computer or did it just shut off mid post?
